I just noticed that "So Far Away" by Dire Straits has already made the Top 10.

You're absolutely right, good catch Brad. I'm only sorry it was after we have so many votes in. Apologies guys. If anyone would like to edit their votes, please feel free (I'll edit mine as well). For anyone that voted for it and doesn't get their votes edited, their song placement will just bump up one spot from that point, for the purposes of vote counting.

It was on the every artists list, but missed the every song list, so apologies to you. Not a problem anyway Jenny - I'm sorry you missed out on your second nom having a chance. Too bad too, because it was doing so well. ;)

Nice ten btw. :thumbsup:

Those 14 or so albums he put out for Capitol Records would be in my Desert Island Discs, that's for sure.

"1950–60: Rebirth of career, Capitol concept albums

The rebirth of Sinatra's career began with the eve-of-Pearl Harbor drama From Here to Eternity (1953), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. This role and performance marked a turnaround in Sinatra's career: after several years of critical and commercial decline, becoming an Oscar-winning actor helped him regain his position as the top recording artist in the world.

In 1953, Sinatra signed with Capitol Records, where he worked with many of the finest musical arrangers of the era, most notably Nelson Riddle,[16] Gordon Jenkins, and Billy May. With a series of albums featuring darker emotional material, Sinatra reinvented himself, including In the Wee Small Hours (1955)—Sinatra's first 12" LP and his second collaboration with Nelson Riddle—Where Are You? (1957) and Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely (1958). He also incorporated a hipper, "swinging" persona into some of his music, as heard on Swing Easy! (1954), Songs For Swingin' Lovers (1956), and Come Fly With Me (1957).

By the end of the year, Billboard had named "Young at Heart" Song of the Year; Swing Easy!, with Nelson Riddle at the helm (his second album for Capitol), was named Album of the Year; and Sinatra was named "Top Male Vocalist" by Billboard, Down Beat and Metronome.

A third collaboration with Nelson Riddle, Songs For Swingin' Lovers, was both a critical and financial success, featuring a recording of "I've Got You Under My Skin".

Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely, a stark collection of introspective saloon songs and blues-tinged ballads, was a mammoth commercial success, spending 120 weeks on Billboard's album chart and peaking at #1. Cuts from this LP, such as "Angel Eyes" and "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)", would remain staples of Sinatra's concerts throughout his life.

Through the late fifties, Sinatra frequently criticized rock and roll music, much of it being his reaction to rhythms and attitudes he found alien. In 1958 he lambasted it as "sung, played, and written for the most part by cretinous goons. It manages to be the martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth."[32]

Sinatra's 1959 hit "High Hopes" lasted on the Hot 100 for 17 weeks, more than any other Sinatra hit did on that chart, and was a recurring favorite for years on "Captain Kangaroo". "

Lucky,

I noticed a couple more inconsistencies between the two threads.

In the Every Artists thread it says: Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

but in the Every Song thread it says: [color: red Copperhead Road (No mention of Steve Earle).

In the Every Song thread it says: Walk - Foo Fighters

but in the Every Artists thread, "Walk" is not listed for Foo Fighters.
